MISCELLANEOUS. PEN AND INK SKETCHES OF POPULAR PERSONS AND PLACES, BY A COSMOPOLITAN. SOMK LADYBIRDS AND THEIR HAUNTS. Of course il is much more difficult in the "World of London," or hi (ho occluded (daces where many of them luke up their abodes, to get a sight of celebrated literary Indies than of gentlemen writers, who, in their hours of relaxation, mix themselves up wiiii die multitude. But in the great metropolis, where so many of our distinguished lilti ttkurs either reside or continually resort, there are hundreds of opportunities of seeing the learned lions; and he must be indeed unfortunate who seeks and finds not.

It is generally considered that great and almost insuperable difficulties lie in the way, not only of strangers, but of residents in England, with respect to making one's self acquainted with the outward and visible appearance of authors. Than this, there can scarcely be a greater mistake In London there are certain clubT t- IIOUK8, wncre buhic Ui uui v-vivuiuivu a at particular hours of the day, be, almost to a certainty, found. Go to the Garrick Club-houae, for instance; and if Sheridan Knowlea is in London, ten to one you will see his lares blue eyes gleaming in some snug box; or if you uo not note, you will, ere you have (if in the next box) been in the room five minutes, hear his rich brogue as he converses with some dining crony. Enter the Junior United Service Club-house, and moat likely yon will catch glimpse of Murryatt's keen physiognomy; and look hi at the Senior," and the broad, coarse, weatherbeaten, sail-cloth textured face of Sir John Ross will meet your glance. And then, should you be very anxious to see D'lsraelt or Btilwcr, you have only to get a friend to procure you the entree of the "Carlton" or the "Reform," and your curiosity will be speedily satisfied.

Tlie'n there are the coffee-houses; but these are not so famous for their literary customers as they were in the old times, when Goldsmith, and Addison, and Steel, and Swift, and Phillips, and whole hosts of others, regularly patronized them. Who does not recognise "Will's" and Tom's, and the "Chapter," as old familiar names? But these have had their day. Only the Chapter Coffee-house," 1 believe, reoiuius ot the ancient houses of this class; and ut this latter place, which is conveniently situated iu a passage between Paternoster Row and Saint Paul's Churchyard, many a literary lion may now be seen, at the low price of a cup of coffee. But how, will some suy, are we to discover, amongst the numbers seated there, those who arc worth a good stare at? 1 will tell you. Make a friend of the head waiter, whom you will soon discover; for the superintendents of such places always look as if they were part and parcel of the concern.

Go frequently to the coffeehouse, until he knows you ss a not too economical in your fees; nor be you too liberal, lest he laugh ut you for a green one; and when you have scraped a sort of half-and-hulf acquaintance with him, pump him; and if you do it discreetly, you will soon attain your ends. At the Chapter Coffee-house, Gary, the translator of Dante, is a frequent there was Sydney Smith often seen; indeed, it is quite the house of call for clerical uulhors. Southey, too, passed a good deal of Iiin leisure time there, on the occasions when he visited they were few; and in those very brief intervals which are left to him, Melville sometimes rests there from the excessive fatigue imposed on himself by the laborious polishing of his sermons. Occasionally 1 have seen Croly there? frequently, Dale; and as for minor canons and prebendaries of the neighboring cathedral, (many of them well-known writers,) they are constantly to lie found there, "thick us leaves in Vullumbrosa." The houses I huve named, however, are, of course, only frequented by gentlemen; but there are places where the fairer portion of the literary community are to be met with; forinstance, in the various theatres of learned institutions, here lectures are delivered at literary soirees, or in the reading-room of the British Museum, where the occupants of the tables are both male and female. II was in this reading-room that I saw, for the first and only time in my life, that extraordinary woman, Mrs.

Somerville, the learned authoress of the "Connexion of the Physical Sciences." She was busily employed in making extracts from some huge folios, and so 1 had but an imperfect view of her. As is usual with Indies who frequent the room for the purpose of few go therewith any other object in was unbonneted. She appeared to he (it is not ungallant, I hone, to guess at a fair lady's this instance at least) About forty-two or three. Her countenance was I not handsome, but highly intelligent. On her broad her dark hair wus combed back from the centre, and terminated in large clusters of small ringlets.

The expression of her features was rather pleasing than profound; but I occupied so unfavorable a position, and the lady was so intent upon Iter labor, that I did not get so favorable a view of her us 1 could have wished. How frequently docs it occur, that we arc disapi pointed in the external appearances of those with whoee works we have long been familiar, and of whose persons we have drawn mind-portraits, which have, fropi long association, become acknowlI edged resemblances I scarcely remember one brated author, or authoress, who lias answered rraclly to the ideal portraits of theni which, long before I saw them "in the body," I had hung up in my own private und particular image chamber. ISveti when portraits have given us some notion of their every-day ableness, the real originals appear i vamiy uinermi irom meir pir.iurvu it wus id the cubc of a lady whom I am about to introduce to the reader, by means of what may lie termed word-limning. A few years since, on the occasion of a new tragedy being produced, by dint of much struggling, uiid alter having undergone ho awful 11 squeezing, that, lilc poor Hood's Spoiled Child, if I hud been held up, I dould scarcely huve been seen edgeways, I found myself in the nndst of as dense a crowd as can well be imagined, in the pit of one of the great metropolitan theatres. I had endured the enormous pressure outside the door for more thnn two hours before they were Opened; and, when they were unbarred, had literally been curried nearly us far as the paying place by the living stream which flowed from without, inwards.

As soon as 1 had recovered fiom the terrific scramble for a seat, I looked about me, and a brilliant spectacle met my view. From orchestra to ceiling, was one dense mass of human beings. The dress circle was unusually thronged; anil, amongst the brilliant audience, were many, of both sexes, whose names have shed a bistre on English literature. Nearly every author of note in London present; and the reason of this was, that Mr. Sergeant Talfourd'a tragedy of Ion" was to try its clmnce with the public that niglit, for the first time.

Many of those who were present on that occasion, I have already noticed in this scries of papers. Others were there, whom I must pass by for tlic present, and only direct attention to few, whom I may not, hereafter, have an opportunity of present- I ing to the reader. In the very centre box, I believe, of the dress circle, and on the front seat, sat an elderly lady, whose personal appearance formed a very striking contrast to theirs who sat on either side of her. On i her right and left bund were elegantly and superbly dressed ladies, of exceeding beauty, who shone in all the glori. of diamonds and ostrich plumes, Youth and loveliness were all around her; and yet that plain, elderly little lady attracted more notice than the brightest of them.

People turned from the belles in the boxes to gaze upon the withered little lady, who, if she ever possessed Hiiy personal charms, hud certainly lost them Inng, long ago." The lady in question was not only we courteously cull people who are far down the lull of absolutely old. Although seated, it was plainly to be seen that Bhe was low in stat- ure; and her frame very slender, thin, and atlenu- tiled, but graceful witlml. Her face was small, and the features know no other term which would convey what I mean so well as that. The i skin of tier face was of bilious hue, much wrinkled, nnd strained somewhat tiirhtlv over itie 1 of a rather aquiline and sharply pointed noae. Her gray hair whs simply parted on her fine fore- head, and confined beneath a plainly made molt-cap.

I do not know whether my lady readers will know what kind of cap this is. If they do not, I am Rorry for it; for i am no great hand at describing such matters. Iler eyes were small, dark, and very i brilliant; and, even at her advanced age, she did not' wear spectacles indeed, whilst looking at the Htage. I only saw them in use when i she had occasion to refer to the bill of the piny. She wis dressed in a very plain, dark (brown, I think) silk gown, mnde so as to fit closely round the throat; nod had long black silk gloves on, which reached half-way up her arms.

This was the authoress of the "Plays of the most powerful of England's female Baillis From the somewhat masculine character of Miss Raillie's poetry, 1 had anticipated seeing quite 1 different loohtiig personage from what she turned out to be, and I could not help experiencing something like a feeling of disappointment, as I on the frail-looking le.dy before me. Csrtainly no one, on looking at her. would her of being the authoress of "L)e Montfort." Since that time I have frequently seen the poetess; and, on one or.caaion, I accompanied a friend to her house at ftampstead, where she resides with en only sister. i Miss Baillie ia a fine apecimen of the old English graceful, and dignified. Her residence is always open to literary people, especially to those from distant countries; and not a few avail themselves of ihe privilege of seeing her at home; and one of these interviews Misa Sedgwick has charmingly described.

Her conversational powers are of a very high order, and, as may be exacted, she is full of anecdote respecting her literary acquaintance. Of Sir Waller Scott she is very fond of talking, Sir Walter having visited her during his last sojourn in London. Blessed with competence, her days slide serenely and smoothly on, in the company of her sister Agnes, with whom she has lived since childhood, and to whom she ia devotedly attached. In the next box to Joanna Baillie sat William Wordsworth; and the great poet, of course, was an object of not a little attention As soon as he entered the house, he was recognised, and loudly cheered. Whether he was ignorant that the compliment was intended for him or not, I cannot tell; but he did not nntir? it nml nhonk an tin with Joanna, and (hen sat down, removed his green spectacles, and, leaning his thoughtful-looking head on his hand, gazed round the houac, nodding to one and another as he recognised them.

1 always thought that Wordsworth's face had much of sadness in its expression; and this struck me very forcibly on the night in question. He looked more like a man borne down by some heavy grief, than a profound thinker. His smile, whenever he chanced to greet any acquaintance, was really a solemn affair; and it speedily vanished, as if tne effort to display it, if but for a moment, waa too painful for loiig continuance. But, despite this, who could look at the bard of Rydul, and not feel a flush of pride and glow of satisfaction that he was in the presence of one of nature's high priests? During the whole of the trugedy, (and on that first night it occupied nearly five houis in the performance,) Wordsworth did not leave his seat, and frequently paid a tribute of admiration to his brother poet, by applauding of the piece. Indeed, he thumped with his stick most lustily; and if Talfourd saw him, he must have been not a little gratified by ruch approvals of hia tragedy.

In a side box of the second tier sat a lady, whose name, at that period, scandal was extremely busy with. Let us, however, hope that, in her case, "common lumor was a common liar." It was the Countess of Blessington And well might Lord Byron, in speaking of her, call her "most gorgeous Lady Blessington;" for seldom have mortal eyes rested on a more magnificent specimen of womankind. In this instance, all the iueas of her extraordinary beauty, which 1 had gathered from published portraits, were more than realized, although it was evident that her ladyship has passed the point of perfection. She was rather more em bun point than I expected to have seen her; but what in others would have been a defect, seemed, in her case, to be an added charm. As she carelessly leaned against the pillar of her box, she realized Byron's form "Being somewhat large, and languishing, and lazy, But ofa beauty that would drive you crazy." She was elegantly, and, almost as a matter of course, simply dressed.

A black velvet dress displayed her superb figure to the best advantage; her hair was disposed in much the same mode as we see in portraits of Queen Victoria, and a single row of lurge pearls encircled her head; a penrl necklace, a diamond stomacher, and a plain gold bracelet, were her only extra personal adornments. It would be absurd in me to attempt a description of Lady Blessington's style of beauty. The en graveu portrait 01 ner, Dy air 1 nomas L.awrence, which every one has seen, will convey all the information that is necessary on this point. Neither Chalon nor Parris have at all succeeded in portray; ing her. With respect to literary acquirements, Lady Blessington cannot be rated remarkably high.

She is lively, piquant, and pleasant; and her literary soirees, despite the scandalous rumors already alluded to, are match for Rogers's breakfasts. But I am sure 1 need not detain the reader with further particulars respecting one of whom Willis has written so much and so well. Standing behind Lady Blessington, and familiarly conversing with her, was the famous Count Df)rsay, "The glass of fashion and the mould of form Count D'Orsay is a son-in-law of the Countess; but, although S'parated from his wife, he is on very good terms with her mother. As he stood, his fine form relieved by the drapery of the box, he certainly appeared to be one of tiie best-looking, and certainly the very best dressed man 1 ever saw. 1 say one of the best looking; for he by no means carries away the pulm in this respect.

He is rather effeminate than otherwise in face. His hair is are his whiskers, which almost concealed the lower part of his face, and meet, in monstrous bushiness, under his well-shaped so is hi3 complexion. Seen in his profile, his features are exquisitely regular; but still, there is an unmanly pretliuess, which ill becomes a lord of creation, about it. His dress was faultless in color and cut? perfectly plain and simple, and filling to a nicety; but I could not help smiling at the pains he must have taken with his toilet. After all, the tailor hud a good deal to do with his countship; ur.d if there is one thing on earth which is more ridiculous than another, it is the man who only lives for his looking-glass.

But Count D'Orsay is by no means a brainless beau. Few men are more accomplished than he. He is a graceful sketcher, an excellent musician, and his recent statuette of the Duke of Wellington proves him to be an able artiBt. Alas! all these aids could not save him from the rude grip of the sheriff officer; for the count has been recently a piisoner for debt, and I am not sure that he is not yet within four walls, furnishing "l'unch" with muterial for the "Dossay Portraits." Writing just now of Lord Byron, reminds me of Lady Byron, whom I saw at Clifion, about three years ago. I do not know that I ought to class her among authoresses; but she is so intimately connected with literary matters, that a slight sketch of her may not be without interest.

Lady Byron frequently takes up her temporary residence at the place I have juat mentioned; and it was during one of her visits that I saw her, with Lndy'King, (now the Countess of Lovelace,) the "Ada" of Lord Byron's poem, strolling through the Zoological Gardens, on Clifton Down. As they stood before the elephant, feeding the nnimal with fruit and cakes, I had a good view of both. Lady Byron's countenance was anything but prepossessing, and I should think it never could have been handsome. There was a shrewish look about it, and as much pride in the whole expression as 1 ever remember to buve seen disfigure a human countenance. Perhaps trouble might have done its work, and ploughed those disdainful lilies or the constant effort to show contempt for the world's opinions or conjectures may have chilled tho heart, and so frozen up the features into rcpulsiveness.

Whatever may have been the cnusc, so it was? the widow of the great poet looked anything but amiable. "Ada" was a fine, buxom girl, with a goodhumored, but not over intellectual countenance. I looked in vain for some resemblance to him who has immortalized her name. She seemed to be mightily amused by the monkeys, who were gambolling in a large cage; and 1 left the "sole daughter oP' Byron's "house and heart" screaming with delight at the tricks of a chnmpanzee. ass Before I close this I would say a few words respecting an Lnghsh lady, whose history as a woman has been as melancholy as her career as a poetess has been brilliant, allude to the gifted daughter of Richard Urinsley Norton.

1 saw her once, and only once. It was at one of Carlyle But a lace which, once looked upon, can never be forgotten. 1 had heard much of seen some fine of it; but, until I saw Norton, 1 never knew what intellectual loveliness in reality was. It seemed if nature had lavished all the it could command, in order to furnish a fitting tabernacle for so brilliant a mind to inhabit, iier complexion was very (Mile and clear; and her hair (jet black) was simply braided on either side of the head, and confined by a diamond circlet behind. Her eyes were large, dark, and lustrous, yet femininely soft in their expression; the nose pure Grecian; the upper lip curved and thin, whilst the lower was full, and Imlh were of the richest coralline hue.

Her neck and throat were gracefully moulded, and the bust and figure exquisitely proportioned. Hut it was the spirit which lighted up that beautiful temple, which, alter all, formed its chiefest attraction. No one could gaze on Mrs. Norton for an instant, without feeling that he was in the presence of Well has she been called the Byron of poetesses. She has all the fervor of the great poet; and, for impassioned eloquence and sterling poetical vigor, she has not a rival.

Severely has this admirable poetess and estimable woman been persecuted; but she come forth from the furnace, without even the smell of fire upon her raiment. In the opinion of all whose good opinion of nny value, she cannot stand higher than she does; and, by that best and truest verdict, the general vuire 01 nrr cnuniry women, roe nurnua while! her deapicable enemies ere ecorned and colit'-mned.

LETTER FROM ENGLAND. In the absence of an editorial letter, which we expected by the Great Britain, we are permitted to muke use of the following from ail occasional correspondent "There is no political intelligence of importance in this country, although the affairs of Ireland seem to be gathering blackness. Persons skilled in discerning the signs of coming events, pretend to say that trouble is brewing among the poor population of that country.

It is suspected that their faith in the efficacy of O'Connell's movements is being undermined by the silent gnawings of increased destitution and misery. His loud, and no doubt conscientious, boasts of triumph, not having been succeeded by any positive acquisitions of power, the illusion that surrounded him is breaking, and a muttering discontent spreads slowly among the mighty masses on whose shoulders he has rested. Meantime he has retired to Derrinane to perfect certain projects of parliamentary action, by means of which he hopes to secure some real and permanent good to his rnuntrv The hold be bus hud Oil the Deonle muy for a time induce them to place wine hope on theae expedients, but the ahrewder observer! of both Englund and Ireland begin to feel that more tliun a 'Parliament on College Green' is needed to right the 1 wrongs of Ireland. O'Connell, I am free to confess, seems to me noble-hearted, sagacious, and intrepid leader, worthy of the enthusiastic love he has inspired in the hearts of his countrymen; but, with alt Ins noblenss and daring, he has failed to perceive the real source of lrelanu's depression, and the means by which she can be rescued. If you will permit, some time I will give you the opinion of un humble individual on these mutters.

"But while directing your attention to the distresses and symptoms of coming trouble in Ireland, let me say, that observation 1ms filled me with even greater apprehension in regurd to England. Heaven knows that 1 am not a prophet of evil: my feelings constitutionally turn to the brighter aspects of human alburn; and my instinctive belief of what must be the destiny of our race leads me to anticipate a future for munkind more glorious in its fulfilment than our most glorious hopes. Yet I cannot observe daily the shocking contrasts of social condition which ure thrust upon me in this country, without being filled with alarm. It is true that these contrasts are no new thing; they have existed for centuries; they have often forced the masses into attitudes of positive revolt, more threatening than any discontent that now exhibits itself on the surface of society. But the peculiarity of the present feeling in England is, that it is silent, secret, suppressed, smothering its wrath in utter unconsciousness of what is to be done.

On former occasions, discontent, made more poignant by.a bad season or adverse state of trade, burst out into a hasty, fiery a transient riot or strife for having given itself air, the flame has soon sunk down into ashes. Now, however, the fires are smouldering beneath the ashes? extending themselves like subterranean unless vented by some speedy and wise spplication relief, destined inevitably to flame up in volcanic eruption. The only ground of hope discoverable ia to be found in the fact that the more generous minds of England are beginning to look into the mattAr na OHA P. A thfl nnhililv no longer shut out the ominous signs of popular distress. They cannot shut them out, except by shutting out the best portion of the popular literature of the day.

This is pregnant and cheering fact. Carlyle, Dickens, Hood, D'lsraeli, Mrs. Norton, and others, have painted pictures that legislators and men of power are compelled to see; and there is always hope when men huve once got their eyes open to a danger. "I huve taken up so much of my letter with these gruve questions, that 1 have, little to speak of lighter topics. I have heard of nothing in the literary wny likely to interest you.

The council was railed together by a committee of the Society of Friends, in order to bring about 11 radical change in the system of Indian domestic economy, and especially us regards the division of labor among them, the withdrawal of their females from the labors of the field, and other employments not suited to the delicacy of their sex. The result was a promise by the Indians that they would endenvor gradually to introduce and follow the system recommended for their adoption.

The particular business of the council being over, a curious ceremony was induction of a Friend into an Indian tribe. One of the chiefs (in his own language) thus addressed the council: "Brothers: In the course of human events, it sometimes happens that nations distantly situated become bound together by the ties of friendship. This is the second session of the present council between the Seneca nation and the Society of To nor tint ion the sobiecls of deliberation hnve been very Among them, there is onaof much interest to us, which it is my duty to open to this council. In order to express the high regard we entertain for the friendship so long existing between the Friends and the Seneca Indians, we have solemnly concluded to adopt into our nation one of their number, and for (hut purpose have selected our venerable friend, Philip E. Thomas According to the ancient custom of our tribes, we, by this act, express our grateful sense of our obligations to the Friends, and make fast the chain which has so long bound us together." The chief then rising from his scat, and approaching P.

E. Thomas, who was sitting at the council table, took him by the arm, and raised him on his feet. After three times laying bis hand on his shoulder, he made an oration in the Indian language, which, being interpreted, was to the following purpose: "By this ceremony we do, at this time, adopt into the Seneca nation this our friend Philip E. Thomas, by which he becomes a member of the tribe, and a brother of the Swan is entitled to the name of a Seneca Indian, and to all the rights and immunities of the nation. We now give him the name of Sagouan, (bk.vevoi.ent givkr, or by which we express our sense of his character, and under which lie will hereafter be recognised among us; and we have appointed George Deer to be his cousin." This ceremony of initiation being performed, and 1 the chief who officiated having returned to his place, Mr.

Thomas addressed the council as follows: "My friends and brothers: I receive with great I sensibility the evidence you have art" irded me of i your regard and confidence. It is true, I have always been disposed to render you every service in i my power. Having now by your kindness become i one of your nation, I feel myself more closely identified with you, and shall take a lively interest in your nfTairs, and at all times will be ready to cooperate in whatever measures may be calculated i to promote the prosperity nnd happiness of the i Senecos."

We have already alluded to the enrneetnesa with which the people of Massachusetts opposed the purchase of Louisiana, and to the alacrity with which they seized the commercial advantages presented by New Orleans, so soon as that great measure was consummated. They afterwards exhibited the sume opposition to thcacquisition of the and the same eagerness to convert it to their own profit. Mobile, like New soon became a northern seaport. The ships of Massachusetts filled its harbor, and the enterprise and capital of Massachusetts built its wharves and warehouses; and the commercial intelligence of Massachusetts soon demanded for it light-houses and breuk-waters; and the narrowminded, short-sighted selfishness of South Carolina uciiounccu such projects us uiicuiisuiuiiuiiai ami peniive. And now we have an exhibition of the name spirit, in the opposition of Massachusetts to the annexation of Texas, and in ils alacrity to convert the acquisition to profitable account.

80 soon as the subject of annexation was entertained by the federal government, the leading politicians of Massachusetts sounded the tocsin of opposition, und their followers, more especially the merchants and manufacturers of Boston, promptly rallied beneath their standard, and threatened their own separation from the Union us the penally of annexation. In vain were they told that Texas would enlarge their markets, and that annexation would suve them from foreign competition. In vain did the advocates of the meusure urge that, if the British obtained Texas, commercially or territorially, they would convert it into a Qibrultar, or smuggling point for commanding the South and link in the chain to Oregon for commanding the trade of the Union with the Pacific. To all this they were blind anil deaf. But so soon as annexation is near consummation, we find the merchants Hnd manufacturers of Boston making extensive prefiarations for conducting the trade of Texas, for supplying it with manufactures, and purchasing its produce.

Now, as in the days of Jefferson unit Mudison, a light suddenly Hushes upon them, tuid they see clearly what was once in darkness impenetrable by their eyes. We shall be told that "Yankee enterprise und intelligence" readily adapt themselves to circumstunces, extract good from evil, stcudily oppose the approach of evil, and strive to mitigate it when it is inevitable. We admit this intelligence and enterprise, but nfiirm tliut it never sees beforehand. We udmil this spirit of adaptation, but affirm that it is a blind spirit, which cannot see a benefit in prospect, though well knowing how to unc it when seen. The benefit of Louisiunn and Florida to Massachusetts was fated to float to its shore upon the wave of time, ns well before us after the merchants of Boston discovered their true policy.

And the benefit of Texiun annexation was rising to gild the horizon of Massachusetts with the sun thai shone on San Jacinto. But its people did not see this light. To their limited vision it was darkness. It was then rising, fated soon to become a noonday sun, snd the ojiening of their eyes has not accelerated its march. They were merely blind to whut they now see clearly.

But why did they not see it before? Why are the paople of Massachusetts continually crying darkness darkness while the aun is sturing them in the face, and ns often waking as if from a sound sleep, It in Iip. cause they ore Ic5, or misled, by few ambitious, self-seeking politicians, who kindly condescend to think for them. They do not think for themselves, and therefore seldom know what they think. With intelligence, enterprise, courage, perseverance, all the elements of a bold, fnr-secing original character, they are more short sighted, more inconsistent, more dependent, more subject to delusion, in anything involving political philosophy, than any people in the Union. We shall show this.

Krom the Boston Post. THE INSPECTION OF HEMP. The ordsr from Mr. Bancroft, Secretary of the Navy, instructing the chief of the Bureau of Construction to authorize the hemp agents in the States which grow that staple to have water-rotted hemp for the navy inspected and tested finally in the regions where it is produced, without requiring nnother inspection in this State, gives entire satisfaction to the farmers of Kentucky and other hempgrowers. After inspection at the agencies, the department is to be at the expense of conveying the liemp to our navy-yard, or to any other place of manufacture where it may be wanted.

The Secretary soys be is induced to hazard the slight inconvenience and expense which may temporarily result to the government from the proposed change, for the sukc of the permunent benefit which it may confer upon it in the increased culture, improved quality, and reduced pi ices of American hemp." Complaints were made 111 the Missouri papers that the Navy Department, in continuing tne old practice of inspection, neglected to carry out the resolves of Congress, and afford to our-own agriculturists the protection and encouragement intended by those resolves, by enabling them to compete with the foreign production. Mr. Bancroft, from a careful perusul of the resolutions of Congress, and the opinions of some of the legislators who assisted in passing them, cannot resist the conviction that they were designed to encourage the culture of this important staple, by opening to its producers a valuable market in their own region. And be remarks to the chief of the bureau: "One of the principal reasons which have induced your previous action on this subject, appears to lie that provision of Congress which requires all supplies for the navy to lie furnished, after public advertisement, by the lowest bidder. You will meet the requirements of this law, and the purposes of the congressional resolves to which I have referred, by advertising, in the first instance, exclusively for American hemp; nnd you will allow foreign hemp to come into competition with our own, only when the latter cannot lie obtained on the conditions prescribed by law." We have regretted to see the complaints, which were becoming pretty loud against Mr.

It is undoubtedly Mr. wish to take tilways the most enlarged, liberal, and national views: "It tnkes democrats to do things quick, and do them well. Read the orders of the Secretary of the Navy in another column.

It will be seen Hint we have got just what the West market opened for hemp that the government may need, nt Dur own doors, where the hemp is raised. Let the farmer now produce the article which will answer the purpose of the navy; and the quantity net dec! by the government he can sell at his own door, without foreign competition. In fact, he can undersell the foreigner, and then make a lurge profit. "We felt confident that a man of Mr. Bancroft's sagacity could not read the law passed by Congress, without seeing that the department was both authorized nnd required to purchase the hemp wanted for the navy, in the hemp-growing regions, and not the farmer to the necessity of sending his hemp all the way to Charlestown upon uncertainties.

"There is no doubt but the interest of government and the interest of the hemp-grower are both consulted by this arrangement. We have heretofore given per ton (or Russia hemp. The Amcrirnn water-rotted can be sold ut $150 or $160 per ton. The hemp can lie inspected with as much care and skill here as nt Charlestown; and if the quality of forty per cent, of what is purchased should prove not equal to what is Wanted for the navy, our goveminent would still save money by the operation. "Our farmers do not need the protection of political legialation.

They can produce the article wanted, and they can sell it chcajier than the foreigner. All they ask injustice, which will be just as much lo the interest of the government as it is to theirs. The democrats make no asinine promises of 'two dollars day and roast and shout no incomparable humbug about 'protecting Amorican industry but when justice is wanted to any great interest of the country, the people will learn presently who is prompt to grant it."

Elections in times we find descriptions of election-rows in the English papers, which throw the little election-day "tiffs," now and then occurring at New York and Philadelphia, completely in the background. We extract from the London Spectator the following account of the arenea at late canvass for member to represent Cambridge in Parliament, to give (lie readers of the "Union" an idea how they niunage such things over the witter; and assure them thai less than the usual amount of fighting and quarrelling transpired on that occasion. The election of a member for Cambridge, occasioned by Mr.

KiUroy Kelly's appointment to be solicitor-general, begun in that borough oil Monday. Mr. Kally was proposed Iwi le-cleclion by the cuuservalivet: Mr Aleaander hhulto Adair, ou bahall ul the liberals, by Mr. I'ryine; who made ele.lt.... committee that Mr.

In uddressing the Mr. Kelly declared that he stood before them with unchanged, lie replied with some heat to Mr. Pry allusion, calling to mind that utost hostile committee had sought in vain to fix the slightest peisonal imputation on conduct He defended the increased grant to Maynooth college, attacked the ballot, (of which Mr. Adair wu a declared supporter,) and, in reply to some impromptu questioning, depiecated universal suffrage.

He boasted that the present government has been oue of deeds, not words; vaunting the ol the parly in the Catholic emancipation act, the repeal of the test and corporation acts, the abolition of slavery, and so forth. He argued against a total abolition of the corn laws, and for protection; hut contrasted the conduct of the present ministers with that of their predecessors in the reduction ol taxation. In the inidst of Mr. Kelly's speech some Interruption as occasioned by the anpesrance on the ground (Parker's Piece) ot a body of two hundred railway laborers, ith music and banners, who were presumed to have been brought for the purpose of intimidating the electors. There as, however, no breach of the peace, ami at length comparative tranquillity was restored Mr.

Adair's speech was the opposite to Mr. Kelly's. He concurred with him, indeed, in defending the Maynooth gr.mt, hut "uot as a sop to stay the torrent of agitation in He accused the government ol having deceived the people, by avowing principles which they have abandoned; and he admitted that fie wished to effect a change of government, in order to a change fiom tory principles to liberal iniuciples. He attacked the income tax; advocated the ouliot, and Mr. Villiers's motion on the corn laws; and, by anticipation, con grutuluted the meeting on the result of that contest.

The show of hands was declared to tie in favor of Mr. Adair, and a poll to us demanded for Mr. Kelly. During the whole of Tuesday, the town was in a very disordered state; the "navigators" employ ed on the neighboring railway being conspicuous among the disturbers lliey matched under a banner inscribed "Peel anil doing little credit either to the ministers or the couseiva tive candidate. Among the many conflicts was a kind ol general fight, in which five or six hundred persons engaged; and three persons were seiiously injured.

Meanw hile, the course of the poll exhibited an uuusual degree of vicissitude. This hubbub would have been a field for the descriptive genius of a Trollope, a Hail, or a so renowned in that line. The Jesuits in have looked over the foreign papers for some time past, with much care, to find data from which to compile a synopsis of the state of things in the French religious world, leading to the lute recall of the Jesuits; but have been able to cull little of interest bearing on the subject The following, from a recent number of tht Journal des Dcbals, may not prove entirely uninteresting. It is a Bummary of a late debate in the French chambers touching the question M. de Boisfiy alluded to the only question which now occupies the: public affair of the Jesuits, and the negotiations of which it has been the subject with the court of Homo.

We, on this occasion, owe ourthankstoM.de lioissy, for we should have regretted the session closing without the government having had an opportunity of giving categorical explanations on the subject, These were yesterday given by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and we think they were of a nature to dissipate all the doubts and overthrow all the pitiful quibbles which the opposition rials have been rnisipg during the last lew days. It was wished to know why the government preferred adopting diplomatic negotiation to legal and material means of repression. M. Guizot explained himself 011 this point, with a force ofurgument and loftiness of language wluch will, we hone, suffice to convince the most prejudiced mind. It was asked, ith whom the representative of France had negotiated M.

Gtiizot ttid, und repeated in the most formal terms, that it as with the court of Home wiih the pontifical government exclusively and directly the negotiations were opened, followed up, and concluded. The result of these negotiations is known; the rest is of little contaquenca. have not to concern ourselves with the resources which the court of Rome thought it its to employ to give satisfaction to the complaints and wishes ol France. In word, we wish to have done with the Jesuits. Instead of having recourse to force, we have obtained alt by reasoning and persuasion.

Have we, by the account given by M. Uuizot, lost anything by this liberal, religious, pacific, and pacifying solution Let us rather say that we have gained everything. The Count de Montalembert evinced more zeal than coolness in his reply to M. Uuizot. We require to call to our mind that the orator spoke under the impression of a legitimate disappointment, in order not to notice too severely the lresh provocations which he lias uttered from the tribune.

Let M. de Montalembert speak in his own name; let hirn speak in that of his dispersed advanced guard; we conceive the gall which ho throws into iiis speech, hut wo will not believe, until we have proof to the contrary, that he is the organ of the French clergy; we will not otfer that insult to the 80 bishops behind whom he has, nevertheless, dared to place himsblr, to launch forth his I manifesto. If we are so unfortunate as to be the war terminated with the Jesuits is to recommence with i the episcopacy it is not feared to threaten us with, we will accept, in spite of ourselves, this new situation, and we will accept it with all its consequences. But let it be well shall be the first to appeal to the energy of the government, ami we have the firm hope that it will know how to resist those arrogant pretensions. It is thus we understand the short and energetic reply of M.

Guizot." Tiie condition of following excerpts from the London Morning Chronicle, though not very late, shed much light on the state of feeling existing in the "sister kingdom" between the Catholic and Protestant population. It not only furnishes a strong comment upon the want of liberality of those Lnglish journals that always catch up and make mountains of the mole-hills of popular disturbances which at times occur in the United States; but it superinduces a melancholy reflection over the imperfection of poor human nature, to know that in this, the nineteenth century, the age of tho march of mind, and with the nution claiming to be the most liberal and enlightened on the face of the earth, such occurrences can grow out of a difference as to the details of the christian system, which has for its basis the one another." thk d18tcrbf-d addrlssls to thk lord li ci't kn ast. Dublin, July 10. The grand jury of the county of Longford huve forwarded the following address to the Lord Lieutenant, urging the necessity of military law," or other coercive measures, for the restoration of tranquillity in tbut county and the adjoining disturbed districts: To hit Excellency the Lieutenant. We, the undersigned magistrates and gentlemen, assembled oil the grand jury of the county of l.onglord, bi leave to call the attention ol vour excellency to the state of this and the neighboring counties.

From our personal knowledge of the peasantry of ford, we are confident that they are in the main a well-disposed and orderly people. But we have reason to fear that, heing scattered over the country in solitary houses, easily burnt or broken open, thev are too much exposed to the power of any secret society of lawless young men, who may combine to carry out their own ends by a system ol terrorism. Now, it is notorious that the Hibhoumen, or Molly guires, us they are called, have lately entered into this peaceable county from the side of Leitrim and we have every reason, lrom what has appeared in avan, to fear the spreading amongst our people of this confederacy of assas sins. It appears to us that the ordinary powers of the law are 1 quite inadequate at present to repress crime in the county which is literally in the possession of the peasantry, who have quite inteirupted the ordinary course ol business. Neither landlords nor agents dare to demand the rents legally due, and it is impossible to carry the civil law into effect without the assistance of a military force.

Numbers of the better class of farmers are living in a state ol siege in their houses, and are afraid to proceed to fairs or markets on their lawful business, from tear of assassination. These nre facts which we can prove when we are called upon. Though tin? assizes uml quarter sessions present light calendars, a reign of terror prevails over the country; and even hen the police have been able to detect and apprehend offenders, tno witnesses dure not come forward, ami the jurors, if any evidence he found, dure not convict We therefore beg to lay before your excellency our earnest petition, that, either by some of the extraordinary powers which the constitution has placed at the disposal of the Irish Fxecutive, or by application to Parliament before the close of the present session, the county of Leitrim, and such other districts as have gone beyond the control of ordinary law, he subjected to military law, or some regulations of equal stringency. We arc convinced that this measure would meet the op probation of the great body of respectable persons of oil parties, both in ihe disturbed counties and in the rest of Ireland generally; and would succeed in suppressing the present disorders, and in nr? venting the spread of disorganization with far less loss, both of money and life, than seems likely to follow from the course at present pursued, which exposes the police and military to excessive annoyance and fatigue, I without much result, except the ridicule of those who commit their fierce outrages almost in their presence. We might add, that, if required, wc firmly believe the signatures of a very large part of the Roman Catholic clergy and of the landholdeii of this county, would he affixed to our petition.

Or a no raoc i inquest on the body John Boyle, a Roman Catholic, wIiq wii shot during the Orange, procession in Armagh on Saturday last, continued all day on Monday, and waa adjourned until this morning. The Freeman'? Journal contains the following: "Armagh, Jt f.y heard the primate's first mass this day, and he spoke very impressively, and shed tears, when praying for the man shot dead in the conflict; and it was most heartrending to hear the shrieks that went through the chapel when he spoke of it. Not one. rich or poor, that was not moved to tears and loud cries that were difllcult to suppress. His said he as not in possession of all the circumstances that would enable him to speak of the melancholy event; but, said he, that men.

all the day pursuing their industrious avocations, should murdered in open daylight, was difficult to be home with. He. however, advised his flock to hear the affliction with patience, and that the law would redress them, and to be ready to give any information which would have the effect of having the guilt? brought to punishment. I Jvtt Boyle wai buried to-day. Hit I Dseouies were iiumucu vj vwmi of infantry and a party of the Scotch Grays.

The primate, Dr Croily. walked before the corpse and hit two curates behind it, from the house where lay the unfortunate remains since Saturday, to the grave. The report was current last night and this day that vengeance for the death of Doyle would be taken on some of the Orangemen by the Catholic party after the interment. But if the intention was such, the presence of the clergy and the military prevented it; and, if the same precautions had been used on Saturday last, the lives of these poor persons, now dead or dying, would have been spared." The Bonner of Ulster says: An immense concourse of people not less than J.flOO? joined the funeral procession. Boyle was between seventeen and eighteen years of age, and the only son of his parents.

The lather is a dealer in pork, and is in poor The Kvening Mail gives the following from an Armagh correspondent: "Abuauh, Ji'LV person named was arreted as one of the rioters on the and a rescue took place; four of the persons concerned in the rescue and riot were apprehended, and put upon their trial this day; and the jury are at present locked up, not having yet agreed to their verdict upon one of the lour, but having agreed to a verdict concerning three of them. '1 he judge sent thein a second time to their room, where they remain at present (six o'clock.) The town remains quiet, and the wounded are going ou favorably." The following details of Orange processions are given by the Northern Whig. You ill perceive that the Orange men were nviavo aim ivbi? wi iuo train and gentry, in their insulting and outrageous proOMdiogi: three o'clock this (Saturday) morning, the slumbers of the peaceably disposed were distuibed by the shrill sounds of most uiunartial music, intermingled with shouts of 'to hell with the Ike and the ringing of the church bell, which continued to send forth its doleful sounds, at intervals, during the entire day. tings were also displayed on the turrets of the steeple of the church. DnoMoiti.

On the evening of the 11th, the Oraugernen mustered in the market-place, paraded the town pluyiug the 'fioyne 'Protestant "Croppies lie he which they continued to do during the night, to the great annoyance of the quiet and ell-disposed inhabitants of every class. At an early hour of the morning of this day they commenced toiling the church-bell, which was rep "ited at intervals during the day. On the bcllry ol the church, four flags, orange, and purple, were hoisted with what were considered suitablo inscriptions, such as "Church IU'1 Situ Several arches were erected in different parts of the town. At about twelve o'clock the lodges began to pour in, accompanied with drums and fifes. As they eutereJ, and during their parading, shots were tired At two o'clock the town was litciully crammed with lodges from Banbridge, Hillsborough, Wari ingstow Moira, Maraliu, Mievenaboley, Bcnraw, Oransha, skelt, (luwaghy, Wurringford, Quilley, Bally go wan, and all about sixty, prolusely decorated with sashes, bands, and lilies.

I have heard seveial persons calculate the whole muster, including the fair sex, who formed no inconsiderable portion of the assembly, spectators. to be about 30,000. They wore beaded by William llcers, of Newcastle, one of her Majesty's justices of the peace lor the county Dow and seneschal ol the Manor court of Custlewellan. mounted on a horse, and bearing a Hag, with a likeness of King William on horsehuck. 'i'his gentleman was afterwards carried through the marketsquare ami other streets on the shoulders of the Orangemen.

at the same time waving his hat in the nil, as if in triumph, (perhaps in disobey ing the command and wishes of Lords Rodenand Karnhain, and Rev. Holt Warring,) followed by a dense mob. whose shouts and huzzas were deafening. Thomas Kiin, of appeared to take the command, and direct the movements of the assembly. I could only observe three other persons who could lay any claim to respectability amongst the ihultitude, two sons ol Charles Magee, esq justice of the peace; Banbridge, who in ft tandem gig; the other is the Mr St.

(ieorge, of St. John's new church, Kilw arlin. About five o'clock the different lodges had nearly dispersed, after having freely regaled As usual, the scene ended with the epilogue of 'To liell with the 'no Ball yn a if excitement prevailed hera on town being thronged by Orangemen and others; and triumphal arches were erected across the streets. No disturbance, however, worthy of reinurk, occurred. "Downpatrick, July twelve o'clock last night the Orange party commenced ringing the church bells here, a labor which they plied with extraordinary zeal for twelve hours.

During the night there was some calling of'To hell with the rope;" but no disturbance took place. a number of lodges assembled, and the usual exasperating exhibitions were manifested. Ncwtownlimavapy, July customary demonstrations commenced here last night about 12 o'clock, and were coiitiuued without intermission till the morning. They played party tunes and fired muskets, and small piece ol cannon, under the Windows of a larger portion of the respectable inhabitants. To-day eight lodges paraded the town in procession, carrying flags, and decorated with the other paraphernalia ol the order.

Many ol the processionists were aimed with swords, and many offensive and defensive weapons. On their passing through some of the town, a great many shots were fired from yards and private houses, in honor of their arrival, and the event which they were celebrating. Knowing that such a demonstration as to take place, and fearing those unpleasant consequences which usually follow in their train, many persons were deterred from attending the fair which is always held hero on the 12th. 1 understand the Catholics were admonished by their clergy not to come to town to-day, unless compelled by very urgent business; which admonition they seemed to have strictly obeyed, as very few of them were present. It is generally a large fair, and a good deal of business transacted; hut very few attended to-day, und almost no sales wen effected.

Such is ever the injurious consequence of displays of sectarian animosity. There were triumphal arches erected at the inlets of the town, decorated with a great profusion of Orange and purple flowers. There were also flags floating from the inurket-house and parish church. Orangemen walked through Monaghan during the time the court was sitting. I understand Homy George Johnston, in his carriage, as at the head of a body of no fewer than ten thousand, many of whom were armed with muskets and fixed bayonets.

The day, however, passed over peaceubly." O'Connell's explanation relative to his late THUNDER AND LHiltTNING" UPON THE OREGON QUESTION The weekly meeting of the association was held this duy, July 21; William in the chair. Mr. O'Connell acknowledged the receipt of from New York, and read a letter accompanying the remittance, hich animadverted on certain expressions uttered by Mr. O'Connall on a Into occasion, to the effect that, if Ktigland rendered justice to Ireland, she might calculate on the assistance of Irishmen in enabling her "to humble the proud eagle of America." What he (Mr. O'Connell) said on the occasion reWred to was, that if 10ngland did render justice, full and ample justice to Ireland, she would he in such a position, through the co-operation of Irishnu as to defy all the nations of civilized Kurope, and would be even able to pull down the flog of America itselt.

Such was the sentiment he uttered, and. he believed, such was the sentiment of Irtdnnd also. It as in consequence of the blustering of Mr. Polk with regard to the Oregon blustering which had since ceased- that had been drawn into the observations complained of. Mr.

Polk evidently calculated on a diversion in his favor in Ireland, should rupture take place between England and America. Having expressed the gratification he felt at the opportunity afforded him of explaining, he moved the insertion of the letter on the minutes. and the thanks ol'thc association to the writer. His repetition of the siale charge of bluster against the President of the Uniled Slates, which was first started by the London "Times," and re-elected the "National Intelligencer" of this city, is not worth a contradiction. It was probably the only manner in which he could possibly creep out of the dilemma in which he found himself upon ascertaining, as he has long since, that the population of Ireland were almost us little disposed to back his threats against America, as are the Irish-born citizens of the Union.

project for the amelioration of many years of agitation, and fobbing millions of "rint," O'Connell hns at last brought something tangible in the way of a plan for the relief of his abused country and suffering countrymen.
